Why would anyone dislike such a pure wholesome video? Miserable people they are. Keep up the great work!!
Its because the title and content are copied 1 on 1 from a different video on YT
I don't think that matters the video is informative 😁💯👍❤️
It’s called feed back. Healthy feed back is a good way to grow. Constructive criticism you know.
@@DB-bk9tr Except a single action of a thumbs down on the video, doesn't provide ANY healthy feedback, or criticism - let alone constructive criticism. Nice try though. You're just defending and encouraging the immature, nasty and ignorant action.
@@Carnie74 Jesus it's just a thumbs down lol. Bet you're one of those people who think words are violence huh
People are entitled to their opinion.
Henlo, friends! I forgot to mention that if your ferment smells alcoholic in any way, obviously don't use it. Sometimes homemade feed contains brewers yeast and that will turn to alcohol if you ferment it. Just thought I would mention that! Also, DO NOT ferment medicated starter. Only ferment NON-MEDICATED feed. :-)
I was just kidding[kind of]LOL My grandmother in mississippi used to have a pig addicted to morning glory vines[opium].If she did not get up early and find him some he would break down the pen.Those pork producers knew that morning glory vines gave a pig the munches and they could get bigger pigs.I am going to try fermented [with my chickens].The pig farmers in Mississippi used that method.Also [seriously]the wild spruce hens here in Alaska get drunk in the fall eating fermented berries and are very apt to try to fly thru a closed house window knocking themselves silly or worse.I really liked your video!!Thanks. EGGS ARE SO GOOD FOR YOU!!I hear lots of chickens around me this year. People expect hard times.I keep them all winter in interior Alaska with no external heat.They eat more but never get cold.I read a book written in 1901 from an east coast farmer that had open chicken coops.He found that closing them in in winter gave them respiratory problems .He was right.Have fun!
Your big red one, looks like it has a pair of big stuffed houseshoes on! lol
any standard yeast can produce alcohol.. that is if the yeast cannot breathe oxygen.. and you mention well water.. well... no no :) tap water in a small jar like that is fine, the amount of yeast will be a lot more by volume, i blend all sorts of veggie scraps, meat scraps, bones, grains.. boil them in a big pot, let cool to 30-40c celcius, then ferment and close the lid (not airtight) i find all minerals and nutrients steep and mix as well and chickens are less picky eating some stuff they normally dislike.. mines dont like cabbage for instance, but in a ferment mix.. they gobble it down..
Drunk chickens
@@backyardthinker5996 you're able to give boiled bones to chickens? I thought you weren't supposed to give cooked bones to any animal because the dangers of it splintering and hurting them internally...
I have chickens and ducks and a family of 7 people. We've really been struggling with inflation prices. I truly appreciate this video. I just started 3 jars of feed on my kitchen counter. Thank you so much!
How much a store bought for example 15 kilograms of chicken feed is in ur country? Here in Finland it costs 20 euros :(
@@rasistitvittuunsuomestayou can get a 40lb bag of GOOD feed for $20-30 usd. Depends on brand and quality of feed. The scratch and peck she uses on this vid is like $25 usd for a 25 lb bag I believe.
Honestly, there is nothing prettier that anyone can wear than a nice smile and this lady has that.
Harry, you are a beautiful soul 😊🥰😘
“Everyone deserves the joy of chickens” 😍
@Lauren Williams LFR I decided to get a few{7} chickens about 5 months ago. I now have 22 also 7 eggs from my girls currently in incubation. I am 50 years old. I have 8 ducks also, Oh, how I wish I could go back in time. I would have had chickens and ducks my whole life!! I have always raised dogs, cats and raccoons. There is nothing like chickens and ducks though. They are great. Everyone laughs at me, because they are family , not food. :-)
@@chrisy.2769 Fr what’s with family’s or other people saying ”are you gonna cook them yet??” Like no they are my children and they will attack you if you try to cook them they are family not food😞😫
I never knew what was missing from my life until I bought Freethought Farm.
Ah, yes. My sister doesn't want any chickens, she just demands eggs from mine! I had to get extra chickens to provide enough for two households. I am sooo lucky! Any excuse to add to the flock!
I feel like this video goes a little deeper than just fermenting. 🤔
I love the message. 🤔
Chickens are deep!!
So what are you saying?.... you think she's making a little moonshine in the background there? ;)
@@Anarchy-Is-Liberty if find some one doing that you get free feed😉
But no one make shin here in Mississippi 😃😆😁
Too often people shame others for being poor, or not "successful" enough, as though that makes them undeserving of happiness. Thank you for your message that we are ALL worthy of a life full of beauty, peace, and joy 🏞️🌾🌻🕊️
I had mentioned to my boyfriend now that we are living out in the rural area we should get some chicken laying eggs someday.... SOMEDAY. About a week later he walked out of tractor supply and put a box of four 3 day old chickens on my lap. I said "what in the heck am I going to do with these, I know nothing about them!?" Marched him right back in to buy all of the necessities. I almost re-homed them a few times because I doubted myself. It's now 5 weeks later and I can't even tell you how in love I am! He just made them the most amazing big girl house yesterday with runs and ladders etc. I sat out there for hours like an excited nervous mother waiting for them to use their new ladder bc I didn't want to miss it! They are four black ones with a couple lighter spots on them that I cannot identify for the life of me!? Three are quite large and one is the runtish and I just adore her she's my sweet girl. We seem to bond over a few pasty butts removal sessions. Lol Love your channel subscribing now! You're the best. 😁🐓🐔🐥💗
Do you post them on ig? I too want to have chicken but still afraid and clueless about the mess. Now i got baby bird from a friend, it's a rescued baby bird. Luckily the bird is omnivore type. I blend oat, and other seed, put little bit or dry fruit and mix them with banana when i feed it. Now my head is full on how to educate it to be able to take dust bath and learn to find food. Will be much fun to teach but also i worried alot.Im planning to free the bird later when it become adult
I literally had tears 😢
I could see the joy your chickie baby's bring you. I have 5 girls and they are my joy in life. ♥️
Your life is never the same once you get chickens. They actually require a nominal amount of work and we get to eat the eggs and the chicken, when the time comes. They are a joy to take care of and what I like to call “free country entertainment “. Lol Thanks for the tips on fermenting the food! I’m going to try that! I’m always looking for ways to cut costs but I like our birds to eat well. My garden is made up of foods for us and foods for the animals.
LOVE YOUR CONTENT!!!!
I'm a new chicken mom and me referring to myself as a chicken mom shows that they are a joy, and if I ever have to harvest 1 it's going to be thought but for now they're used for eggs.
Eating my old hens won’t happen unless I’m starving and it’s the apocalypse. I have two that are 7 years old and I think they teach stuff to the younger hens.
use a paper coffee filter instead of a lid, put the band around the coffee filter "skirt." That works well with Kefir too
The joy on your face is so genuine and wholesome
❤️🐔❤️
I went through a break of fermenting my chicken feed, and have recently started again. So I had come back to this video and watched it a few more times to refresh my memory. I have fallen in love all over again fermenting their feed they love it so much, and that brings me immense joy. Thank you for all you do. I am so glad you are here!💛🌈
❤️❤️❤️
I love this! I just got my chickens 4 days ago. They are 5 weeks old and they bring me such joy and calmness!!
At what age can I feed them fermented feed?
Love this thanks! I've been fermenting my feed the past few months that I've had chickens and haven't been able to find much information about it till now. I just dumped a big scoop of organic feed pellets into a big bucket, filled with water, added a bit of my kimchi/sauerkraut/ferment juice as starter, left it outside with lid with holes, and it turned out great! Smells sweet and bubbles when it's ready. The chickies love it! I just keep adding to that bucket to keep it going. A general fermenting tip - sometimes white stuff will form on top which is a type of yeast, it's not harmful, just skim it away.
Nice!!
Read old books on husbandry or farm animals feed and silage is as common as dirt. Media of this generation seems to be ignorant of this most common and useful thing as fermenting feed
THIS MAKES SENSE! Fermented/sprouted foods are much better for human digestion and more nutrient dense. I should have thought of this, but I'm glad I saw your video.
So happy I came across your channel. You and your chickens are adorable. Thank you for sharing your passion 💕
I will be starting my fermented feed today! Thank you so much and I have to say your outlook on life(and your chickens life's) is so refreshing! May peace and happiness follow you and your lovely flock
Watching your videos brings me such peace and joy. Love how happy your girls make you! My fiance and I recently got 3 babies after my fiance's cancer diagnosis and they just help alleviate the pressure of everything going on. Your tips and tricks are SO helpful. I couldn't say thank you enough..or give enough thumb-up clicks haha xD
What a wonderful comment. I’m so glad my videos are helping you! Best of luck to you both. ❤️🐔❤️
Go keto my sister if not carnivore if you can't and watch the difference . No one is saying go permanently on it but it does work to heal . May the Lord Jesus Bless and praying for you all
It was your maniacal smile when you said, "but you can call me the president of chickenlandia." I have loved you ever since. Getting ready to check out your new book.🌿💛🌿💛🌿💛🌿💛🌿💛🌿💛🌿
Thank you for this video. So refreshing to find someone who loves to take care of their chickens as much as I do. I will definitely try your method. God bless you and your little chicks.
The most inspiring and positive video in the longest time! Made me want to cry! 😭🥰
Thank you and bless your heart, chicken Lady!!!!
Gracias, de corazón!!!
Thank you for your video. I have watched many videos about fermenting feed for chickens. And they had so many components to it that it was something I felt was to much hastle. Your video made it very clear to me how it should be done. Thank you
Love your videos! I just tried the fermented feed on my chickens and they LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!❣
What a great idea!!! I will start fermenting right away! Thank you for sharing this lovely video and your love for your lovely flock. 😁🥰
I love this! I am totally new to chickens. Impulsively went out and got baby chicks months ago and have been learning so much. I never knew they could have fermented food!!
Oh my goodness 🥰 I have found my long lost sisters here!🐣🐥🐔🐣🐥... I 💕 LOVE your channel! The information given in the videos provides a treasury of wealth to us poultry loving peeps!🐥🐥Yes..the pun was intended! 🤠Thank you for all of the love you have most evidently put into the making of these videos! Love, a sister from Texas!🐓🦃🐓
You are so welcome!
You are awesome! Not because of saving us money but because you enjoy and LOVE your chickens AS MUCH AS I DO!!!
We just started with our chickens and they already bring me so much joy. I'm so glad I found this channel!!!
Brand new chicken mama with 3 baby’s and I’m definitely going to give this a go! Thankyou so much!
You are a wonderful ambassador for chicken keeping! And a kind person as well.
I happened upon this video by complete chance and I could not agree more with your message at the end about the joy of chickens ❤️ my chicken girls bring me SO much joy!
Yay! I'm so glad you are here.
LOVE the message at the end! We are ALL worthy of a life full of beauty, peace, and joy 🏞️🌾🌻🕊️
❤️🐔❤️
So glad someone feels the same way as me! I got chickens this June and can't believe the joy they've brought to my life. We had a fun game this summer... I expanded garden beds by laying sacs of soil on the earth for a few weeks to kill the grass. When I eventually come to lift the bags off the earth, it's a chicken buffet under there. Thinking about starting a vermicomposter this winter to give them some fresh protein. Thanks for sharing this amazing advice! I'll be trying it with crumble.
You're so welcome!
I've had pretty good sucess with fermented feed (pellet form) the only time they didn't like it was when I let it ferment too long (5 or more days). If I let it go too long I think it gets too sour for their liking. I drain mine through cheese cloth laid in a strainer once the liquid stops draining I gather the edges of the cloth together and twist the ball of ferment to further drain the liquid. Once I get it to the consistency of moist sand I put it in mason jars and refrigerate what I don't use to slow spoilage. I can't say how long it could last in the fridge as it is usually gone within a few days I've never stored it more than a week. I was told by the farmer that showed me the process not to freeze the ferment as they thought it changed the texture or taste because their chickens wouldn't eat much of the frozen stuff even after it thawed to room temp. Sometimes I collect some of the drained liquid and add it to the next batch to speed up the next ferment.
You ferment pellets? Wondering bc I "cut" my scratch and peck with cheaper pellets due to costs and not sure I could ferment that mixture.
@@friedmansfresh Yes,,, I ferment Tractor Supply brand layer feed works fine. You'll notice black particles that settle out once the pellets turn to mush that is the iron they add to the feed it is. Perfectly safe to leave in the ferment.
@@friedmansfresh I was told you can ferment all pellets except medicated chick starter.
Interesting because mine love rice, but they will not eat previously frozen anything even cooked people food that's been frozen.
You are awesome, kind, compassionate and it's hard to find a person who give the best to animals. Glad you are happy and your chickens are happy as well.
Thank you so much!
I'm moved by how much you appreciate being lucky in life and share it with others. Thank you ;)
❤️🐔❤️
I ferment my chicken feed too, everyone thinks I'm crazy. But it's so much better for them, they just love it!
Right?! They really do love it and it's so good for them!
So cool you’re doing this!! Chickens, like us, have only one stomach and digesting grain is not their strength. So, like us, they benefit from fermentation! Bravo!!
That is actually incredibly interesting.
@@Cree_Money 😊😊
I am so happy to find your channel. You tell us hoe to do everything ourselves. And inexpensively. Thank you! My little grandson helps me with our chickens. He adores them.
I stumbled along this idea while researching. and have never looked back! They absolutely love it!!! ❤❤ I now buy the cheapest grains and they eat every bit up! Thanks for the video!
Not only your chickens look happy, your joy is also evident,the passion you convey your knowledge is awesome
Thanks
You’re so welcome!
Wow.. That looks to be a global village with the variety.. The joy of having chickens around is priceless.. I definitely learnt about the fun of preparing and serving the chickens delicious meals
Thanks for posting! You are so sweet brought joy to my day watching this.
I love you video. I am new to backyard chickens, we have 7 and I absolutely love them. I smile all the time watching them.. Thank you for this idea I am going to try it.
We live in the PNW as well and just started our journey with a flock. We have both chickens and ducks that follow my 12 year old daughter all over the place. Thank you for the idea. I didn't know I can do this to help it stretch out our feed. Totally going to try this.
Yay!!
The smile on your face is so genuine and awesome
True they bring much joy, like mine, excellent info on you tube, thanks, Leon
Thanks for sharing your joy and passion- it's a delight to see! We just got our 1st four chicks! Trying to decide on the easiest-to-clean, best-insulated (though our winters are pretty mild- maybe 1-2 snow days) coops.
I have a house chicken. She eats a lot of vegetables and fruit with her feed. They make the best pets and they are so smart! She has a car seat and loves to go on field trips. We live in the great smoky mountains of Tennessee and there's so much for her to explore.
I have been to the Smoky Mountains. So beautiful!
Does she poop in the house?
I heard of one guy that mixes whole grains into a compost pile with an ongoing earth worm population in the pile. He lets the chickens scratch for sprouts, seeds worms, bugs, and keeps churning the pile until part spent, then adds more weeds, etc to the pile with grains until it is nearly ready to use as compost, then he uses part of the old pile as a starter for a new one. Cost is very low. He says he spends less than a hundred dollars per year for what looks like about 30 chickens.
I know exactly who you are talking about I think! It’s a wonderful system and very sustainable.
I'd like to learn more about this process
@@lalylaly27 I think they are referring to edible acres
Edible acres?
@@jerkball07 thanks!
You are an angel and the chickens know that! I'm like you but my flock is smaller. You can't possibly explain how much time, care and love (let alone money) you put in for your babies to your friends because they think you're crazy, but as you correctly said that the joy and happiness you get from interacting with them is priceless and instant no matter how much life lets you down that day!
Thank you so much!
You're so sweet! Your video taught me, and made me smile! Thank you! 🥰
Chicken joy is wonderful - thanks for sharing your joy and your chickens - take care xx
You are so welcome!
Tried it - it works!!! I am so amazed! And they love it :) 🐔🐔🐔💕💕
Our use of 1 bag of poultry mix has been extended so much :)
Howdy! New subscriber & new chicken mom. I’m glad that I came across your channel. Thanks for sharing! You’re appreciated!
This was very interesting to watch. It is the third of your videos that I have watched this evening. My sister has a flock of baby chickens, you see, and she sent me some pictures of them. She then mentioned that she is going to grow sprouts and ferment feed. I thought I need to learn more about this. I really like the way you present in this video. You show all the essential steps and each key step in the process is shown with a "thumbs up". All the steps are simple. You also show feeding the fermented product to the flock. Thank you for a truly excellent video. I understand the goals of providing fermented feed better now.
You smile is contagious
I used to ferment the feed for my chickens and geese but got out of the habit because I didn’t know anyone else doing it but this just reminded me how healthy it really is. I’m going to start fermenting feed again!!
Me, too! I fermented their pellet feed in a 5 gallon 🪣 in the kitchen over the winter of '20-'21, but then sorta forgot about the whole idea. I realized recently that I didn't do it last winter, but wanted to start doing it again. After watching this, I don't think I was using enough water before!
With fermented food, what if they do not eat it all in the same sitting, will the chickens and geese come back to it later? Also, how does this work in the winter--doesn't the food become cold and / or frozen?
Me too! I've been fermenting whole field peas, barley and oats. They've been happy on it.
@@sadiebeast97 well, it took me a while but you get to know approx how much they eat. I go out at sundown to cover the food that may be left and cover the waterer so it doesn't freeze.
How much do you feed per chicken, approximately? Especially of the fermented mix?
wow! You really love your chickens! Gog bless you for all your good vibes and useful informations to feed those awesome creatures
What a delight! What an absolute delight!! I wish I could "like" the video over and over again! Gonna do this tonight!! God bless you and thanks for your wonderful information!!!
Thank you for sharing. I am thinking of having my own hens. You look so happy with your chickens!!! I love it!
You can do it!
"Everyone deserves the joy of chickens." 😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️ So true!! I got my first chickens a little more than two months ago. Absolutely love them and they are so entertaining. Everyone should have chickens. 😉 What an enjoyable and happy video!
Thank you!!!
Omg yes i never knew how entertaining and therapeutic they could be! 🐣🐓😉
Good morning girl!! God bless you and dem chickens!!
Wow!! Some fancy birds you got! So very beautiful and HEALTHY they look!!
And I love seeing how much you enjoy them 😍
Thank you!
You're a great lady with a great attitude! Thanks for the great tip we will try it also
you are adorable and that authentic love comes right through! I'm a new chicken owner and I love my babies too! new sub, looking forward for more.
Yay! I'm so glad you are here!
Because of you, I have been fermenting feed for my birds. They are healthy and strong. Thank you.
Thank you for your contribution on saving on feed , truly appreciated. And your chickens are beautiful! Thank you!
What a beautiful soul. Thank you for your videos and sharing your life with us!
🐔❤️🐔
You literally have the cutest personality. Even if I were not new into chickens at age 65, these videos would be enjoyable. 🤣
Thank you so much. I'm already fermenting but helps to know I'm on the right path to healthy, happy chickens and me enjoying them
as chicken keeper i confirm: chickens are a lot of joy, the end made me really happy, i will try this for my girls! (also, ik no one really cares but i wanted to say: i got my chickens 2 days ago, and today, one of them: Opal flew to sit on my hand! that was soo funny! i love her and all my chickens so much)
Yay!!
I care. That made me smile! 😊
You got the most beautiful chickens I saw. Good job in keeping them.
wow great info! and wonderful reminder to appreciate, appreciate, appreciate !! i am getting more chickens and went to the thought i am spending a lot on my chickens to give eggs away to neighbors. i then thought… do you love to be able to?? and the answer was yes and i then came across this amazing video that will extend the feed ann be healthier for my chickens and i know they’ll enjoy it mote!!
You are one of the reasons why we started our homestead and are beginning our journey of getting ALL the chickens. If you want peace and shear bliss, chickens are the answer. Thank you for all you do and all you know.
Aww thank you so much!
This whole video made me smile. Thanks!! 🙏🏽
things are getting colder, so I am going to try this. Thank you for all the great videos!
You are so welcome!
Same
Loveeeeeee your videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Okay, I get it! It's a lot like making saurkraut or Kefir, or yogurt. Gives me courage to once again try keeping chickens! I Really enjoy chickens!
Is it also possible to ferment the feed from the market?
Thank you so much for all your information, easy to watch and learn videos, and the REAL advice that helps us all. I just discovered you but now I’m trying to go through all your videos
For real? This video is great! I like the presentation, the humor etc….
You earned my sub Miz. Lady!!!!
We got 7 chickens and we give them layer feed and scratch maybe 50,50 of each. Should I ferment some feed , they also get scraps from our vegetable garden also . Thanks for the great tips. 😀🐔
Love this video! Especially the part when you say they bring so much joy in your life 🥰 I feel the same. Chickens are so interesting, cute and useful. I ferment mine’s feed too. They look so healthy!
They are wonderful little creatures, aren't they? Yours sound very lucky to have you.
That is very nice I am a big fan of fermented foods in every way I think this is a very positive way to feed animals. Many happy meals ahead.
I want to be your friend!! I love the joy chickens bring you. Chickens and gardening bring me so much joy as well. We lost 10 out of 12 of our chickens this year to a predator and my girls and I were devastated! We are building our flock back up now and looking to save more, take care of them even better with diet. Thank you for the video!
Loved this video, and I feel the same way about my feathered girls! My hubby says that in his NEXT life, he wants to come back as one my hens! Lol.
LOL I've been told that as well!
For some reason I have this strong desire to get chickens. I don’t understand it! So needless to say, I’m doing some research while I think about it. This is my first video of yours I’ve watched. I immediately subscribed at the end of it. Great video! Very educational, entertaining, and fun! Brought joy to me and I don’t even own chickens yet! 😂 I’m looking forward to watching more from you. Thank you. 💜
Yay!! They will change your life. They certainly did that for me!
I’m going on 10 years of having hens. I never in a million years would have thought I would have them. If you get some, read up on different breeds. They have different laying amounts and temperaments. They are fun and funny and bring a calm to me after a stressful day. I’ve raised all of mine from a few days old. The only drawback is finding someone to take care of them if I want to go out of town.
@@ChickenTender57 its good to cultivate friends you can trust within the vicinity who can house/pet look after each others properties, when one is away/sick/in town. Another option we've taken at longer times friend/family from further come to stay - they call it country farm retreat 😂 At these times I preset feeders with dry food & place extra water etc., making everything easier.
@@charitytanel8107 I had someone. I would take care of her hens and she would take care of mine until she moved. We’re not in a farming community and finding someone reliable is difficult but I’m still looking!
Sooo lovely. So professional and great background music. You are for sure the president of love landia❤
You're such a sweetheart. Bless you and your chicken's.
I'm gonna try this! My girls deserve the best!
Yay!!
One of my chickens ended up with heart failure (water belly), and I was wondering if it possibly had to do with the salt from the water softener, since I was using the house water (well) to make their fermented feed. I'm now using water from the barn instead just in case.
I have to thank you for making my organic feed go so much further. Saves so much money and you don't have to refill their water as often, which is great, too! Your advice changed my life. ;[)
Oh my goodness you are so welcome. Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so sorry about the loss of your chicken. I really doubt it had anything to do with the water. More likely it was due to how production breeds are bred. They are just bred to lay lay lay which is awesome, but also can cause issues. You’re a good chicken parent and your flock is lucky to have you!
That’s a great question I was wondering that also I have a water softener on my well
Britta filter
A vet told us to always filter well water for the cats and dogs. We filter all the house water and we do have a salt water softener too
What a wonderful happy video!! 😊 I'll share to my friend who's got her chicken flock there on her backyard, yay! 😀 😍 🤩
OMG!!! Thank-you! Subscribed and now gonna have to watch the whole course.
Love the tip! AND the affirmations!!! Thank you! Just bought a shed today and we are going to convert it into a chicken coop. Wish me luck! Where I live in Puerto Rico, it's so hard to get things shipped out here and the custom coops out here are not bougie. Lol.
Gotta have the bougie coop LOL!! Good luck, I'm sure it will be great.
The most important thing about chicken coops is,easy to clean, nice ladder type roost for night, windows that face sunrise, ( chickens need to see sun to function) and laying and brooding boxes like a foot off the ground with perch and red curtains( hens love red ,just like red comb of rooster good luck also you need a small cage nearby for quarentine of sick chickens.
@@mrs210 Thank you for the tips!
All fermented foods or sprouted grains are of great value. Excellent idea, lucky birds!
Awww. This is a great tip- but more than that, I love your love for your birds. So wonderful!
Thank you!
Love your video. My chickens bring me so much peace and joy.
Last fall I was cleaning up an area that had a lot of aster in it. I have 2-3 chickens that like to work where ever I am and I notice they really loved the seeds that were falling and they would jump up to eat the seeds from the plants. I made up bundles and hung in the chicken coop to dry and would drop a bundle down about every week. they loved it, gave them something to do on the really bad snow/ice days.
Ecuador chicken wrangler here, thanks for the useful information.
You are adorable and I love the vibe you give off, I really enjoyed this video, not just because of the helpful tips, but because of the positivity you radiate and how happy and grateful you seem. I didn't hesitate to subscribe. 😌💖
Aww thank you!
You channel is fabulous! Thank you so 🤗🤗🤗much!
